While the rest of the herd made their way back to Ponyville after the party Naruto and Rare had decided to spend one more day before the unicorn had to go back. They were attending an art gallery that caught her attention.

Him dressed in a black suit combination with white shirt and her in a light colored sun dressed with deep gold trimming perfect for the warm air of spring. Her mane was done up in a bun and her tail was brushed and curled in its usual fashion.

Arriving to the gallery it wasn't long before they started gossiping with the socialites.

Rarity seemed to be in her element as she gossiped with some of the ponies and she seemed to be enjoying their company.

"Its them? Two of the elements!"

"That's the Lunar Captain. Word is he's courting Princess Luna?"

"What luck! Do you think we can get them to endorse in our company?"

From then on a throng of other ponies followed Naruto and Rarity as they made their way around the room to look at the other pieces of art.

The following doubled when Fancy Pants and a gorgeous unicorn model by the name of Fleur De Lis joined them. A phrench pony with features consisting of a light mangeta gray mane heliotriopish white streaks and pale grayish violet eyes. Her figure was similar to Rarity's if the mare was slightly more slender and taller and her accent was absolutely exotic.

The two mares were getting along quite famously, especially when Rarity revealed she could talk with Phrench leading to happily talking in Phrench as their two dates were hopelessly lost.

"So tell me, how did you and your fiancé meet?" Fleur's question was met with a pause and a faint blush. "That bad?"

"It was not one of my finest moments I admit."

They continued deeper into the building. Archways lined the walls of the room, revealing even more halls and chambers beyond their curves. Stacked upon these arches was another floor of still more catenaries linked by a lavish staircase almost as wide as the room itself. It rose from the opposite side of the room before stopping at a landing where it split to continue towards both sides.

A sky motif decorated the ceiling. At its very center were half a moon and half a sun joined together to form a perfect sphere. On each ones respective side was a painting of their sky. Stars glittered the moon's while clouds decorated the sun's.

They continued their journey through the museum when Naruto paused. "Naruto?" Rarity questioned.

"Everypony get down!" He shouted when suddenly the rough exploded. Screams followed as everypony duck for cover. The rough area caved in as a figure shot inside.

The figure was that of someone in armor. The black armor was sporting silver trimming and a pair of wings reminiscent of those of a Dragon or a bat. Around the intruder's neck wa a neck guard decorated by several gems. The intruder had large shoulderpads, each composed of two silver-edged plates one over the other, sporting silver crosses on them too, and flank the high collar, whose shape is reminiscent of that of a dress. The silver-edged breastplate reveals a fair amount of the intruder's cleavage and belly, with plates flanking her hips and reaching down to her very large waistguard, composed of very long, silver-edged plates shaped like feathers and decorated by silver crosses. The waistguard left the front of the intruder's body exposed, with her groin being covered by a dark indument. The slim gauntlets come equipped with prominent protection for her hands, each sporting silver patterns. The plates guarding her legs were sliver-edged on her thighs and knees, but pitch black dark on her metal greaves. On her face was that of a black helmet that shrouded her identity.

Whoever the intruder was it was a winged individual, most likely Pegasus considering her stature was smaller than your common pony and that her body revealed her obvious femininity.

"Name's Black Wing! And I'm here to knock you parasites off your pedestal." She raised her blade only to be shoulder tackle into the wall. The resounding crash resulted in a pony size shape in the wall but Black Wing recovered.

"You picked the wrong place to attack." Naruto remarked as he readied himself for what was to come.

"Think you can handle me little stallion? Then let's dance." Black Wing quickly shot forward and swung her swords at the blond who weaved out of the way. He slammed his fist into the armor only to receive a rattle from the armor clang. His punch had been ineffective of forcing her back only a few inches.

Naruto shot back as intense pain coursed through his hand. It was as if he had punched a bunch of tiny daggers.

"Hahahaha! Hurts doesn't it. I recommend you don't hit me again." Black Wing laughed. "The attack power of my armor is too incredible to be defeated so easily." Black Wing let out a hiss of pain as she looked down to see a dagger had buried itself in one of her exposed spots. Her gut. She looked to see the fading glow of Rarity's horn.

"It appears I missed. Looks like I will have to work on my aim a bit."

"You whore!" Black Wing hissed as she shot off at Rarity. She found herself caught midway when her ankle was snagged by Naruto.

"That is no way to speak to a lady!" The blond remarked as he yanked her back and through one of the walls. "She's quite the hotheaded one." Naruto asked as Rarity joined him. Slipping off her heels so she could be mobile.

"What concerns me is where did she get that armor? The armor eerily reminded her of their armor only its nature was more along the side of malignant.

Members of the Lunar Guard arrived on the scene. "Orders Captain?" His Vice captain Dusk asked him.

"Scout for civilians and get them out of here then set up a perimeter. The last thing we need is for the intruder to escape." Naruto ordered his troops as they split into several small groups to search for those who were too frightened to move.

"So which of us is playing the role of support?" Rarity wondered as she watched Naruto's intense gaze on the hole.

"I will, there's no guarantee her blades won't cut right through your ribbons." He said as they both dodged to the side as the blood dagger shot right past them and embedded itself into the wall of to the hilt and causing a massive crack in it.

The mare blasted out at supersonic speeds. The blade inches from Naruto's face as he twisted back, and shot his leg up sending Black Wing a few feet in the air.

Naruto used his hand and right left to stop himself from falling as he launched himself after the mare. To his surprise a shroud of wind formed around the blade. 'She can materialize wind like that?' With blinding speed the mare shot the blast down as it tore down through Naruto's shoulder, shredding to pieces his suit from his left shoulder and arm as fur and blood spurt out from the blow.

Bearing through the pain he attempted to grasp her face only for her to bury her knee in his ribs. As Naruto began to fall back Black Wing found her following slashed blocked by debris.

Rarity quickly fashioned the debris into crude daggers as she began to fire them at the swordsmare who began making quick work of the projectiles with quick swords work.

Landing on the ground Naruto took a moment to collect himself as he went into Sage Mode an instant later. The following leap caused the ground under him to crack from the pressure as he shot upwards.

Naruto appeared behind the thinning wall of projectiles and launched a punch the mare could not defend. The fact he struck her without physically touch her had caught her off guard. The rain of remaining stone projectiles ramming down in her torso without mercy caused the intruder to spat up blood as she crashed into the floor.

Black Wing turned to the side and began hacking up more blood. She saw the couple approaching her. As much as she hated to have to do so she needed to flee. A shroud of wing began to course around her entire armor.

This alarmed the blond as he grabbed his fiancé and jumped to the side as the Unicorn barreled forward at full speed, crashing through the wall. Outside a crowd had gathered wondering just what the commotion was. Seeing something shoot out of the gallery and looking every bit as a demon causing many of them to shriek in fright. A malignant yellow-purple glow radiated from the armor as she drilled through the barrier. Fighting its resistance for a few seconds she managed to cause it to shatter before fleeing at full speed.

Naruto and Rarity exited the building. Avoiding being mobbed by the growing collective outside. Reporters and other sensationalists had already made their way to the scene and many ponies were already demanding to know what was going on.

The whole incident was going to be in just about every paper. This was yet another matter that was going to involve the Princesses and another mystery to boot. For a moment he had sensed something familiar about the armor. He couldn't quite put his finger on it. For a moment he would have guessed Discord was responsible, but not only did he not sense Chaos magic from the armor the Harmony wave would have wiped out all traces of Chaos meaning he couldn't have left the armor behind.

Could he have? Either way before of the arrogant nature of the user Naruto was sure they hadn't seen the full potential of the armor and that was troubling. He was going to have to talk with Twilight and then they were going to have to talk with Celestia. They were already shown a being with sufficient enough power could get passed the Princess defenses so they were going to need a way for the Bearers to be able to get a hold of their Elements, but without putting them in harm's way by just keeping them in the town either. While it would seem like a good idea to keep them in Ponyville there was always a chance someone could discover a loop hole around the protections.

"Are you convinced you are not as powerful as you believe now?" Midnight smugly looked down on the beaten form of Hot Streak. She was on a medical bed in a room they had rigged up months ago in a mountain town that the Children of the Night had managed to rig up. Deeply buried in the mountain the town was out of sight from patrols.

"Eat shit Midnight." Hot Streak replied. Her body was bandaged from not only where there were multiple welts, but from where they had to cut her open and perform emergency surgery to stop her internal bleeding. Turns out the Black Wing Armor merely kept the body from completely falling apart so the fighter could keep fighting. Whether or not the power of the armor could evolve so the wielder could no longer feel pain they had yet to discover. Discord hadn't been very forthcoming with the details.

"Consider yourself lucky as far as Pegasi fighters go you're irreplaceable. " Only putting up with her attitude until she was no longer useful to their cause. "Still this proves my point. The bearers continue to grow stronger and we're going to need an edge if we hope to crush them."

One of the Children of the Night entered the room. A tall dark grey unicorn mare with gold eyes wearing a light colored gown that reached her knees. "Lady Midnight I bring you good news."

"This better be good Grey Heart. I would not want a repeat of last time."

Grey Heart paused fearfully as she resisted the urge to rub her left ear or what remained of it. "M-My lady we found him. We found Cold Brew."

A grin unlike any other had formed on Midnight's face. "And I do believe we have found our edge."

After the events of last night Naruto was looking forward to an uneventful train ride home. There was already an investigation under way to track who this mysterious Black Wing was and the Gallery was closed down until further notice.

Finally the train stopped and jerked Rarity awake. Last night had been both rather long because of the investigation and exciting. His poor marefriend didn't get much sleep. At the very least they would spend the morning together and relaxing before having to contact the herd about the events that happened.
